Hellbound: Stupid is as Stupid Does
By Roberta Rosenberg on Dec 10, 2007 in Hell-bound, Occasional Rantings
When I was in NYC this past Saturday, we had dinner at Bubba Gumps in Times Square. Huge place, greasy food, and land of Forrest Gump trivia. I won a bumper sticker for knowing that, in the movie, Forrest met three presidents, and I was able to name two — Johnson and Nixon. Kennedy was the third, if you’re taking count.
Which leads me to this video clip from “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader” - and yes, for the record, I am.
Now, I am NOT a mean-spirited person by nature. I understand how folks can be limited for all sorts of reasons, but this? Well, see this clip of a grown-up woman person strutting her complete lack of stuff for all the world to see on. (You might have seen smaller clips, but here’s the full “I thought Europe was a country” Kellie Pickler, brought to you via Israel in honor of the 7th - are we done yet - day of Hanukkah!
“Hungary? I know they speak French there … “

Ok, we love your articles and posts and you are our NUMBER ONE, but regardless of any honor of Hanukkah, this video made it’s way around the net weeks ago on many sites including the formidable Perez Hilton (http://perezhilton.com/?p=9749). Keep it current…two weeks is a life time in cyber.

Sometimes I put things in here just to make ME laugh.

I loved it, and since some of us make it a point to spend absolutely zero minutes out of our busy days on celebrity sites, I’m down with the “go” decision.
